Aljo got robbed

[gentel]

I hear a lot more talk about the Gane robbery and I agree it was a robbery, but Aljo got robbed too. And it's really unfortunate because this was by far his most impressive FW performance, against his toughest opponent. He was like D1 Aljo wrestling offensively and not just doing BJJ

1-1 going into the 3rd and Aljo had dominant grappling for the first half of the round, ultimately Movsar did a great scramble and got on top but neither side did much damage with their grappling and Aljo had like a whole half of a round in dominant positions and with sub attempts whereas Movsar had considerably less than half the round

Get the fuck out of here. Riding the clock while inflicting no damage should never be rewarded

 

[HatKick]

Nah. It came down to round 3. Aljo controlled a little over half the round but zero ground strikes. Movsar controlled the other half (a little less than half) and actually landed some shots. Not the most damaging but enough to take the round from Aljo who looked like he was drowning. Close fight but judges got it right that time.

 

[swizztony]

No he did not. Movsar almost had three times more strikes while they had the same amount of control time, how the fuck is that a robbery?

 

[sdpdude9]

Nah, Evloev did more with his control time. It wasn’t super effective stuff, but it was more than Aljo did.

 

[benebox]

It should have been a 5 rd fight.

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

It was close, but I felt Evloev threw more strikes when he was in dominant positions and that’s what gave him round 3…

It was a very good performance from both guys…

 

[sanguinius]

The third was close. Sterling controlled more of it, but Movsar did more with the time that he had and ended the fight up top. I thought sterling should have won, but I could see it going either way. I wouldn't call it a robbery or even a bad decision. More of a coin toss based on what you are looking for. Super fun fight, exciting and both guys looked great.

 

[Poirierfan]

Was not a robbery what so ever imo.

I legit think the wrestling slams Aljo did may have been more damage than the weak and well-defended GnP shots - only place those shots hurt Aljo was on the scorecards

 

[tritestill]

Close fights are not robberies, really STFU and whine somewhere else

I think your wrong

Getting slammed on that bouncy canvas isn't really a big deal unless you land head first.

 

[balkanbomber85]

Not a complete robbery or a robbery of the year candidate but I felt that Aljo did enough to win. I would say it felt more like an Aljo win than a draw and more like a draw than a Elonev win, tbh.

 

[Question]

Aljo had round 1
Evloev had round 2
In the third round, Aljo was winning it with control but once Evloev took over a little past the halfway point he had control AND was landing strikes from a dominant position. He maintained that until the end of the round

This was a close and competitive bout, however it had a pretty clear winner if you follow the UFC's scoring criteria

 

[pick999]

Aljo doesn't got the dana white privilege

 

[Kono dio da!]

Aljo is one of the best fighters in the roster, but I cannot stand when fighters don't throw ground and pound when they're on top.

 

[FreedomCricket]

I thought aljo won and I've never rooted for him.

 

[Yashabo]

The scoring rules are kinda clear on it, and Aljo just didn't turn it up enough. It kind of looked like he had it in the bag but Movsar turned it up a notch and did just enough to be more effective in the third.

 

[chinarice]

Have no issue with the decision myself. Close fight. Seemed like Aljo also wasn't confident he did enough. You could also see visible frustration between rounds.
